Thread: 1st (partially) lucid dream,

Hi! I'm new to lucid dreaming, and I found this board trough googling.
I know someone from another online community who was interested in Lucid Dreaming he told me about it, about 1/2 a year ago. I think knowing about lucid dreams made me just a bit more aware, and made me realise it was possible. I think that If i wasnt aware, I woulndt be able to have a lucid dream. Anyway here's what I dreamt, I've written everything that I could remmeber, eventhough it was not right after it happend.

First, I was watching TV. I was zapping and suddenly this TV channel had bad reception, and I was like WTF, switched to another channel and then back. Somehow something involving drinking those small cartons of chocolate milk and a crate full of em and something about my dad and sister happend after that (me stealing some??) but I cant really remember.
Then, I stood infront of the window in our (new) livingroom. (My family just moved to a new house a month ago) I stood in the new livingroom looking outside but I was looking at the garden from our old house, as if I was actually standing in our old livingroom (our new view is looking down on a road, so its really different which is probably why I noticed.) . Suddenly I thought "WTF? This is not right, I'm in the other house now? I must be dreaming. Yes, I think I'm dreaming. [cue lots and lots of excitement] Yeah, I am! And I'm realising it! Wooo!"
From there, I think I controlled my dream partially. I went with my face trough the glass, and it sort of melted around my face but remained cold (It was clouded and cold outside, looked like it had just rained, IE same weather as usual during this time of year in the Netherlands ). I stepped into our old garden, (sort of 'warped' to the middle of the lawn) and thought hey what if I fly? I flew up, I really felt in controll and I felt this strange tingle, this funny feeling inside my wrist/arms, the middle of my chest and from my knees. (Now that I think of it, I associate yellow sparkles with it. Energy?)
I flew up a bit, a round a bit, not more then 5/10 m above the ground and suddenly I felt this impulse to fly in a certain direction. At that point I dont think I was in controll because I felt like I was suddenly tied to an airplane, it went like WHAM! *wooooosh*. It went really fast, It sort of felt like something grabbed or 'hooked on to' something in the middle of my chest (where I felt the energy) and flung me towards a certain direction. I sort of managed to ignore it? It could be I've forgotten about a part that happened between beeing flung trough the sky and the next bit I thought "Hey, i'm having a lucid dream how about some SAIX! And decided to visit this girl I me a couple of years ago at my cousins but then never again (she's sooo cute, hah). I flew trough the window and in her bedroom, and the room was totally cluttered with her clothes, and the whole room smelled like her, perfumy, sweet, as I remembered. But she was not there, and I thought "Oh, too bad." and then it ended.

I could've messed up in remembering the order in which the events happened. I could've thought 'lets go and visit her' after which I got propelled to her home.

I'm keeping a dreamlog now, doing reality checks whenever LD'ing comes to my mind (which is alot, because It was such an exhilarating experience that I keep thinking about it) and I've set my digital watch to beep every hour, and then I perform a check. When I got to sleep I use MILD although its very difficult for me because I'm having a hard time keeping my thoughts under control when trying to sleep, when I concentrate on the lines I repeat and their meaning, I stay awake (or drift off in thoughts without realising).
